| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, automatic ultrasound imaging system by integration with mechatronics and medical navigation system to provide 3D ultrasound modality and assist image guided procedures. In the mechatronics part,I developed a probe scanning mechanism using pneumatic actuators, which are quite lightweight. As for navigation, I developed an algorithm to reconstruct 3D volume by scanning of conventional 2D ultrasound probes. From the results, I confirmed that the developed system realizes automatic 3D volume reconstruction and automatic ultrasound image guidance by following a therapeutic tool such as a needle.
